Instructions
1
Prep
Mix ground beef and cottage cheese in a bowl until combined, shape into a 3/4-inch patty, and season both sides with salt.
2
Sear
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, sear the patty 3-4 minutes per side until a deep crust forms and centre reaches medium doneness.
3
Rest
Transfer patty to a plate and rest 5 minutes so juices redistribute.
4
Fry
In the same skillet over medium heat, fry the egg 2-3 minutes until the white sets and yolk firms slightly while centre stays soft.
5
Deglaze
Lower heat to medium-low, add butter and minced garlic, pour in beef stock, scrape up browned bits, then stir in heavy cream and cracked pepper.
6
Simmer
Continue over medium-low heat 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
7
Build
Toast bun cut side down in a dry pan over medium heat 1 minute until golden, then layer lettuce, tomato, patty, and egg on base.
8
Plate
Spoon peppercorn sauce over burger, set bun top open-faced, and serve with warmed black beans on the side.
